steep roof puddle welds
(OP)
Are there any guidelines for puddle welds used to fasten steel deck on OWSJ steep roofs (10 rise to 7 run)?
Thanks

Unfortunately I only have the AWS D1.1, I see that D1.3 relates to sheet metal welding and requirements. I will have to further research. Maybe AWS D1.1 will address issue.
Again thanks.

Maybe an alternate attachment should be used (mechanical anchor) due to steep roof slope.
RE: steep roof puddle welds
If you are welding sheet metal, the welding and procedures should conform to AWS D1.3, Structural Welding Code-Sheet Steel. The flat position is pre-qualified and must have a 1/32 inch concavity on the weld. If you want to do otherwise, it would require qualifying a procedure first, then qualifying welders to that procedure.
It would be easier in this case to use mechanical fastening.
